Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

In your CT scan report there is mention of a well defined benign structure in the ligaments attached to left ovary. It presently measures about 3.5 x 2.7 cms and can be either a fibroid which is externally visualized and called exophytic a else this can be a cyst arising from the ligaments. If your uterine bleeding is continuously disturbed then a surgical recourse might be considered. However there is still time for a surgical treatment and at the present size we can still wait and watch. The comparison with earlier size of 2 cms show that it is growing and I will suggest another ultrasound scan after 3 months to assess the size.
